Threaded Demo - Uses Window.write_event_value communications
Requires PySimpleGUI.py version 4.24.0.17
Demo of threads using a new way of communicating with threads that is done in a non-polled way.
No longer do you need to run your event loop with a timeout value in order to multi-thread.
Now you can pend on your read forever and use a special call that threads can call that will add a new item to the queue
of items

The thread that communicates with the application through the window's events.
Once a second wakes and sends a new event and associated value to the window
